Yes, it will, but I think that that will create more problems than it will solve (which is not to suggest that an implicit cast is the right thing). That will require that any non-trivial usage of jsonb requires copious casting, where nested hstore does not. The hstore module hardly contains some nice extras that a minority of jsonb users will be interested in. It contains among other basic things, operator classes required to index jsonb. All of my examples will still not work, plus a bunch of cases that currently do work reasonably well. There'll just be a different error message. -- Peter Geoghegan -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
